The community support center of Ajman Police on Wednesday ended the suffering of an Uzbek family, comprising a 38-year-old mother, 71-year-old grandmother and a child, aged 9. Their action prevented the family from being homeless.
The Ajman Police, in coordination with child protection department at Ministry of Interior (MoI) and General Directorate of Residency and Foreign Affairs in Dubai (DNRD), saved the family after they were thrown out of their apartment, which was rented from a real estate office in Ajman, after failing to pay the rent because the mother, who supported the family, was serving a jail term for being involved in cases of bounced cheques.
Captain Wafa Al Hosani, director of the community support center at Ajman Police, said that they managed to reunite the 9-year-old child with his mother and grandmother. This happened after DNRD had exempted the fines on the child and his mother for violating the residency law for eight years, and the grandmother for four years.
She added that Ajman Police immediately bought plane tickets for all of them and gave them some money to start a new life in their home country. They left on Wednesday for their home from Dubai International Airport after the MoI, in coordination with Uzbekistan consulate, issued documents for the child who had no documentation since his birth.
Luda Mila, the grandmother, appreciated the unprecedented humanitarian gesture of the Ajman Police, MoI and DNRD for the help that they extended to her family.
"I have always heard about the generosity of the UAE. So, I am not surprised by this gesture."
She praised the wise leadership of the country for their guidance in providing every bit of help to many UAE residents.
